I'm going to try to host a contest! We all remember the two week quest contest, right? Well, this will be almost the same, except tweaked a little bit. The two biggest changes are
A.That it is twice as long (four weeks to make a quest instead of two) and
B. Not only is this quest vs. quest, it's AGN vs. PZC! This thread is being posted on AGN and Pure ZC. That way, you'll be going against people from both sites. There will be an award for best quest and for best quest-making site (the site with the most votes overall).

Here are the rules:

General Rules:
You may use any ZC version.
You cannot start until August 1st.
And lastly, you Absolutely Can Not use the new DoR set, PTUX, or Akkabus's Pure set. Just to make things more interesting.

Overworld Rules:
It must have a semi-explorable overworld.
The overworld may not be a dungeon junction. This basically means you can't make one big dungeon with a central connection station.
The overworld must be at least 4x4.

Dungeon Rules:
There must be at least four dungeons.
Each dungeon must be at least 8 screens.
You can use big, belated overworlds instead of dungeons.
You can make them as big as you want, and you can include as many as you want.

Submission Rules:
You must PM your submission to me.
The submission must have a link to the quest, some story info, and general information, preferably with screenshots, just like an Expo entry.
Submissions are due by September 1st, at 11:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time.

Anybody who is going to enter, please tell me so I can add you to the list.

Current list:

Pure ZC:
fuzzyman
Fire Wizzrobe
Nuvo
Moonwhisper
Lord Ike
Darth Pikachu
nicklegends

AGN:
Russ
ZTC (NekoArc here)
lucas92
blaman
Tobias Daboi (Anthus here [banned here])
Mighty Darknut (Sharon Daniel here [also banned here])

After some consideration, I've decided I'm going to participate in my own contest? I'm not sure if I'm going to represent AGN or Pure ZC at the moment, so I'll just put myself down under Pure ZC for now.

I'll compete, for the PureZC team. Nothing gets me motivated quite like a deadline.

I'll do this cause I was planning on releasing my first demo of Prokaryote at the end of August anyways.

Part of my tileset has already been made, so does it count as me being started early?

Also the dungeons have to be complete?

If you've only done the tileset, it doesn't count as starting it.

And yes, the dungeons have to be complete. They must be at least 8 screens, and have to have a boss at the end.

On a side note, I think I'll run for AGN, since they will probably have less people.

I guess I could configure The Mountain King to these standards, so I'll enter.

Why not? Not a big fan of the limitations, but whatever... representing here, obviously.

Moral issues? That's when the contest starts. We have no way of knowing if you start before then, but please be honest. icon_wink.gif

Yes. You can do any tileset editing right now. You just can't start the actual quest until August 1st.

Can't get my main quests done, won't be able to do this; sorry.

Some of the rules seem very restricting. Why can't contestants use Pure or NewDoR? Making screens takes longer and puts them at a handicap. I personally would love to play some mini-quests in good graphics.

Two reasons.

A. I wan't to make it more interesting.
B. I need a break from seeing the new DoR and PTUX. icon_razz.gif

Hey, none of the quests in the Two Week Contest used PTUX or the new DoR.
